The CSI Summer Camp Program

In order to get kids excited about the sciences, the Caruth Institute for Engineering Education – part of Lyle School of Engineering at Southern Methodist University, TX – runs a summer camp program for kids with a healthy interest in solving crimes. With the collaboration of the military, local police officers, and schools across the country, kids solve a “crime” by working together, learning the tricks of the trade and getting a whole new insight into what they can do with science.

"By moving us beyond print, and even beyond the web in some ways, and having the Historians TV conference channels running throughout the conference and in the hotel rooms it really helps to give a sense that we're reaching into the future."
